Then Came Alexandra Read online

  She sighed. “You’re right. I’m sorry. I’ve just been so strung out lately.”

  He nodded then went back to his bookkeeping.

  “Why don’t you have me do your office work?”

  Blaise ignored the question. She had asked him so many times. “How’s your dad?”

  “He’s okay. He wants to sue the truck driver.”

  “I’m sure it was an honest mistake.”

  “That doesn’t mean anything to him.” She wiped the tears away then looked at him. “So, who is this girl? Anyone I know?”

  “No,” he said firmly. “And I wouldn’t tell you if you did.”

  “It’s a small town. I’ll figure it out eventually.”

  “Danielle, why do you care?” he snapped. “If it’s not her, it’ll just be someone else. It doesn’t change anything. It will never be you.”

  “You’re such an asshole.”

  His eyes widened. “You lied to me and told me you were pregnant so I’d marry you. Fuck you, Danielle.”

  “I did not!”

  “Then show me proof.”

  “What?”

  “I want proof that you were pregnant.”

  “That’s not even possible,” she said.

  “Show me a record proving you had an appointment with a obstetrician.”

  “I don’t just carry that with me.”

  “All you have to do is call the office and ask for your records. That will settle it.”

  She glared at him. “I can’t remember which doctor I went to.”

  He shook his head. “I’m sure that’s likely since there are three in the entire town. I’m not surprised, Danielle. I just wish I knew you were lying before I let you move in.”

  “I wasn’t lying,” she snapped.

  “You aren’t convincing anyone, Danielle. I can’t wait until you’re out of my life forever.”

  “I can’t believe you just said that to me after everything I’m going through.”

  He stood up then slammed his fists on the desk. “Then leave!”

  She glared at him then stormed out of his study.

  Blaise returned to his chair, holding his head in his hands. He finally found the girl he really wanted, and his stupid decisions were getting in the way. He was full of self-loathing.

  Alexandra was driving him crazy. He had no idea someone could be so sexy without even trying. Everything she did was tantalizing. They continued their heated kissing sessions every chance they got. When he took her home, they just lied down and made out in the back of his truck. They meant to go to the loft but they didn’t always make it.

  She would pull his shirt off but he didn’t reciprocate, even though it nearly killed him not to. He imagined her naked body multiple times, thought about her round, bare tits. It kept him up at night when he rubbed one out. He never masturbated to the thought of a real person, but he always thought of her when he touched himself. It was getting harder to wait as the weeks went by. And it had nothing to do with sexual frustration.

  Being with Alexandra made him realize how much time he wasted with all the other girls. Danielle was the biggest loser of all. He thought he could get by on his looks and his money, taking whatever girl he wanted. But that was so depressing when he thought about it in retrospect. Alexandra completed him in every way. She was the one, the love of his life. He just wanted to admit the truth, even if she didn’t feel the same way.

  But Danielle was still in his way. Her mother’s illness had crippled her. Even though he tried to discuss their options and solutions, she would break down in tears, saying she was too scared to leave his protection. He stayed at his second home most of the time, staying away from her. Alexandra hinted at seeing his place but she didn’t press her advance. It was becoming more difficult not to lie to her. Changing the subject would only work so many times.

  Alexandra still worked as a tech at the hospital even though she was completely competent to be a nurse. No matter what he did, she still didn’t find the confidence to go back. She was determined to accept her failures.

  Blaise tried to find solutions to his problem with Danielle. She needed to go somewhere where she’d be safe and Evan would never find her. That was the only plausible option. But all her friends and family lived in Savannah. Blaise doubted she would ever agree to move somewhere else.

  He considered taking out Evan himself, killing him and making it look like an accident. It was murder, which Blaise knew was unethical and wrong, but he was so determined to keep Alexandra that he was desperate for an idea. Evan was already scared of him, but that wouldn’t be useful if he and Danielle were broken up.

  Obstacles kept halting his ideas. But he didn’t give up. He had to find a way. If not, he would lose the greatest thing that ever happened to him.

  When he picked up Alexandra, she was wearing a short dress with heels. He was hard at the sight.

  She smiled at him then wrapped her arms around his neck. “You look nice.”

  “Uh…you…yeah.”

  Alexandra’s cheeks reddened. “Is that a compliment?”

  He nodded vigorously. Then he grabbed her waist and pushed her against the door of his truck, kissing her neck and moving his hands up and down her waist.

  She leaned her head back, giving him plenty of room. “I’m not hungry,” she whispered.

  “Neither am I.”

  “Good.”

  He pulled away and stared into her eyes. The desire he felt was mirrored back at him. Neither one of them wanted to have a dinner at the restaurant, separated by the table. There was one thing on their minds.

  He moved his lips to her ear. “Where do you want to go?”

  “How about the creek?”

  His heart raced in his chest. This was something he wanted, to be with her intimately. He never felt the emotions that surged through his body now. Alexandra was the sun in his sky, the light to the earth. “Are you sure?”

  “God yes, I’m sure.”

  Blaise shook slightly at her enthusiasm. He grabbed her hand and led her to the passenger door. After she was inside, he got into the driver’s seat and drove to the creek. Alexandra didn’t stay on her side of the truck. She was practically sitting on top of him, kissing his neck.

  “I can’t wait to feel you inside me.”

  The car swerved. “Damn…”

  Her hand rubbed his crotch, giving him extra stimulation he didn’t need.

  Blaise drove toward the edge of the clearing then killed the engine quickly. It was dark in the glade. The streetlamps from the road were absent here. Only the light from his dashboard gave them any illumination.

  Alexandra gripped his thigh. “Let’s go outside.”

  Blaise felt his heart pound. He was at a loss for words.

  She moved to the back of the tailgate and she lowered it. Blaise grabbed her waist and set her at the edge. When she wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him toward her, her dress moved up, showing her black thong.

  Blaise felt another moment of hesitation. He hadn’t figured out how to resolve his situation with Danielle, but he wasn’t too concerned about it in light of the desire in her eyes. He thought he saw love in their depths but he couldn’t be sure. But he knew how his heart felt. It beat for Alexandra, the love of his life. His heart belonged to her exclusively. He never felt something so strong in his life. But he was afraid to say it. What if she didn’t say it back?

  She grabbed his jeans and unbuttoned them then pulled them down. Her hands grabbed his shirt and stripped it away, leaving him in his boxers. His crotch was touching hers because the truck was at the perfect height.

  Blaise felt his mind snap. His desire fueled him, taking the reins. He grabbed the sleeves of her dress then pulled them down her shoulders. His lips kissed the skin of her neck and shoulder, making her gasp. He pulled her close to him, rubbing his bulge against her clitoris.

  The touch of her skin to his lips lit him on fire. The sweet smell of her perf
ume increased his arousal. She always had a distinct smell to her, like summer flowers in a deserted pasture. The quiet sounds made him grip her tighter, squeezing her. He had never been more excited for sex than he was now. Every incident in his past looked like torture compared to this. And Blaise had never made love to someone before. He wanted it to be perfect.

  He lifted up her dress then pulled it over her head. He wanted to feel her naked body next to his while he moved inside her. Their souls would touch just as much as their flesh. When he pulled her thong off, she moaned again.

  Blaise pressed his face close to hers and looked into her eyes. They were still green despite the darkness that surrounded them. They burned in flames, signifying her need for him. He wanted to express the depth of his love for her, confess that she was the one to him, his other half. But he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

  She grabbed the rim of his boxers then pulled them down. His impressive size popped out, twitching in excitement. Her breathing increased the longer she looked at it, studying it like a work of art. She kissed his lips gently then pulled away.

  Blaise grabbed a packet from his jeans then tore it open.

  “Allow me.” She took it then placed it over his tip.

  He couldn’t hide the excitement he felt. His cock was throbbing and leaking, showing his every thought. She left extra room at the tip then rolled the rest of it down to the base. She was gentle but firm at the same time. Seeing her sheath him made his mind want to explode.

  When she was finished, she wrapped her arms around his neck, her lips slightly open. The sound of the crickets played in the background. The soft movement of the stream drifted to their ears, making them feel isolated from the world. There was no one else in sight, not even miles around. No one else in the world existed but each other.

  Blaise grabbed her ass and tilted her slightly, bringing her close to him. Her breathing hitched for a moment, unable to control her excitement. He kept his face close to hers as he directed his tip to her entrance. The wetness touched his fingers, telling him she was more than ready.

  She gripped his neck, ready for the impact to take place. “Blaise…”

  He pulled her closer, feeling his tip move inside. A gasp escaped his lips as he felt her stretch apart.

  Her breathing increased and her nails dug into his skin. “Yeah…”

  Blaise moved further inside, placing his cock halfway. Even through the latex, he felt her intimately. She was wet and warm, tightening around him the more he moved. He knew how excited she was by the touch.

  She grabbed his face and kissed him, her kiss aggressive. Her moans escaped her mouth at the same time, echoing around the glen. She pulled herself closer to him, wanting more of him.

  Blaise gave into her and moved completely inside. He released the breath he was holding. Time seemed to stop now that they were joined together. Blaise felt his heart race in his chest, in tune with hers. Her breasts were warm against his skin. The nipples were red and tinted, showing her arousal.

  Alexandra was already trembling, her moans becoming louder the longer they touched. Blaise started to move, rocking into her gently. The truck shook as he thrust into her, the tires squeaking.

  She pressed her head close to his. “Oh my god…”

  Blaise moved faster, sliding into her with little resistance. His cock was already twitching with the desire for release. It was easy to get off with her. He wanted to explode the moment his tip was touched to her entrance. The pain in his heart was overwhelming. Everything ached. He never felt the connection with someone like he did with her, to love someone more than he loved himself. Alexandra was the person he’d give his life for. Just seeing her smile made his day. A single frown could ruin it. His heart throbbed the longer he moved. He wanted her for the rest of his life. The realization scared him. Alexandra could completely destroy him if she wanted to. If she ended the relationship or found someone else, it would be a horrible blow.

  Alexandra breathed into his mouth. “Yeah…yeah.”

  He knew she was on the verge of exploding. He cupped her face and placed his lips against her ear. “You’re so beautiful.”

  Alexandra opened her legs wider while she panted for him. The sound of her heavy breathing gave away her emotion. She was spiraling out of control, tightening around him the longer he moved inside her with even strokes.

  “Come on, baby,” he whispered. “I’m going to make you cum harder than you ever have.”

  Her nails dug into him so hard, it almost drew blood. “Blaise…” Her moan turned into a yell. If anyone was in their vicinity, they would hear it. It sounded like Blaise was killing her, making her lose control. Her breathing was loud and heavy, like she was hyperventilating. “Yeah…”

  Blaise thrust into her faster, rocking the truck loudly as he moved. He gripped her tightly, holding her while he moved in and out. She was still as wet as she was when they started. He loved making love to her. It was the best experience of his life. But he had to keep thinking of other things so he wouldn’t explode. He concentrated on the beautiful woman before him, the girl that came into his life so unexpectantly. She turned his life around, made him realize that happiness was possible. He didn’t need to sleep around to feel connected to someone else. As soon as he touched Alexandra’s hand, he knew they were meant for each other. He couldn’t believe he found someone so amazing, caring, and passionate. He knew she loved feeling him inside her because she cared for him deeply, not just because he knew how to get her off.

  “Oh my fucking god,” she said when her orgasm finished. “You are…fuck.” She moaned for a few seconds, still overcoming her high.

  Blaise put his hand on her lower back and pushed inside her completely. “I’m going to blow your mind.”

  She bit her lip while she felt him. Then she grabbed his hips and started to rock into him with equal intensity. Now she made it more challenging for him to remain in control. He grabbed her face and kissed her, his tongue darting into her mouth. Every time he touched her, a quiet gasp escaped her lips. He loved the effect he had on her. She was like a puppet he could control. Touching and saying the right things could make her snap. He thrust into her hard and fast while he kissed her. It had the effect he wanted, because she started to mumble incoherently, yelling at the same time. He grabbed her thighs and held them back while he moved deep inside her.

  Alexandra recovered from the momentum and pressed her face close to his, breathing deeply. Sweat dripped down her chest, pressing against his skin. Her hair was in disarray, messy from their lovemaking. Blaise stared into her face as he thrust quick and fast, knowing it was his turn to meet his end. He felt the slow burn between his legs. It formed in his stomach then moved to the base of his balls.

  “Thank you for giving me this moment,” he whispered.

  Her eyes softened. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and moved into him, sheathing him over and over. Blaise felt the explosion. “Yeah…” He grabbed her hips and pulled her to him repeatedly, feeling his semen fill the tip of the condom. He pretended the latex wasn’t there, that he was filling her. “Mmm….”

  When he was finished, he didn’t pull out. Instead, he placed his forehead against hers and closed his eyes. His heart burst from his chest, tingling his entire body. The moment he had with Alexandra was pure to him. It was the first time he gave his heart and soul to someone else. He never thought this day would happen but it had. “You are mine,” he whispered.

  “I know.”

  He opened his eyes and looked into her green ones. “How was that for you?”

  “Is that a serious question?” she asked, out of breath. “Now I understand why it’s one of the things you’re exceptionally good at.”

  “Well, you make it easy to be good at it. Very easy.”

  She cupped his face and rubbed her nose against his.

  “I’ve never made love to someone before.”

  Her eyes softened when she looked at him, her eyes turning a brighter
shade of green. “I’m honored.”

  “And I’m honored that you let me.”

  Alexandra knew she was in love with Blaise. The fact became more solidified with every passing day. It was undeniable and unshakeable. And when they kissed and made love, she could swear he felt the same way.

  She finally bought a truck. It was older, but it worked, had a radio, an AC and a heater, and new tires. That was all she needed. She tended to the fields on her own, knowing exactly what she was doing. The more times she did it, the faster she became. She was never fat, but all the exercise made her lean and tight. Her aunt had recovered from her back injury, but Alexandra refused to let her get back to work. It was only a matter of time before she threw out her back again. Which led to another complication; her aunt had to sell the land.

  When she came home from work, she walked inside and sat at the kitchen table. Her aunt had dinner ready. She always seemed to know when Alexandra would be home. She picked up her fork and dug in.

  Martha eyed her. “You having fun with Blaise?”

  Alexandra didn’t know what that meant. “Yes...”

  “You like him?”

  “Yeah…”

  Alexandra, I know about you two. I’ve known for months. To be honest, I’m a little hurt you didn’t tell me.”

  She sighed. “Well, I didn’t want you to tell anyone else.”

  “What’s the need for secrecy?”

  “Well, one of my guy friends asked me out and I said I wasn’t interested in dating anyone. Then I started dating Blaise immediately. I just didn’t want him to think I was lying.”

  Martha stared at her. “And you still need to keep it a secret?”

  “Well, I guess not. He probably wouldn’t care now. I think it’s been enough time.”

  “So what are you waiting for?”

  “Nothing, I guess.”

  “Is this serious?” Martha asked.

  They hadn’t really discussed it, but there was no need. It seemed pretty clear that they wanted each other for as long as possible. “I think so.”

  “You think?”
